BEWARE !!! I needed to sell what was left of Granmas sterling silver flatware. The guy weighs it and offers me $400. I am surprised (it seems low) and I ask what they are paying per ounce. Instead of answering, he says, well, maybe I can do a little better than that. I will put it on the GOOD scale. The good scale and a recalculation achieves an offer of $638. That is a 60% increase- HUGE DIFFERENCE! So, not only did he sketchily avoid telling me what they are paying per ounce, but they have TWO SCALES - One for customers that look easily duped, and a good one that, apparently, is more accurate. SCAM.

I really wish there was a zero star option because that is what I would have selected. Today I took my 18kt gold Rolex in to be appraised to possibly sell. (Hard times due to covid) Previous Metals told me my 75,000 dollar watch was a counterfeit, claiming that the band that is stamped 750 (the stamp for 18kt) was really stainless steel and not gold. They also said the serial numbers didnt match the watch. I left hurt and upset. I stopped by a Reputable jeweler that was able to acid test the metal to confirm what precious metals had told me. It was confirmed indeed the watch was 18kt gold. They also said that Rolex had changed the way they serialized due to counterfeiting. This place was able to mistake gold for steel and frankly does not belong in the business. Please do not do business here you might end up with steel at gold prices this establishment can not be trusted.

The place was pretty cool looking! The service was friendly. But if you are like myself and hunt for raw material in nature then you might need a second look after here if you are not fully confident in what they believe it is. Turns out I have a very large beautiful chunk of blue jasper with thicker gold layers and veins. Very valuable raw piece, pure luck finding it lol. But very nice jewelry selection though!

Got my watch links sized quickly. This Seiko watch band is very hard to adjust but they took their time and got it :) Cheers

I took some coins in that would be considered mint state red and the guy told me that they were only worth a penny he wouldnt look at them is very rude and disrespectful. I wouldnt take any coin there again or anything else

Always been a great experience for me, #GPKL. The staff is very knowledgeable on precious metals and gems. Da that they call themselves that. Not sure the last time I was here, but this store has been around for at least 25 years or more. One could get lost in this small store for hours, ton of stuff to look at. GRANDPA KYLE thanks you for your help gents. #GPKL

I love this store! Phil and the guys are always super helpful and have the best and largest selection of unique jewelry and rings. I bought my wife’s engagement and wedding ring, 5 gorgeous pinkie rings and my wedding ring over the years and have always had ecstatic reactions when given. The staff is always friendly and have an exceptional knowledge base. From coins to high end watches to eclectic jewelry they have it all. Kansas City is blessed have a jeweler with such a collection of high quality jewelry and knowledgeable staff. They are my go to for jewelry needs and wants.

These guys are great. I have had Phil help me with both my fiancees and my engagement/wedding rings. Beautiful customizations, expert advice, close working relationship. Will be using them for a long time.

Carlos did a fantastic job completing appraisals on my jewelry. Very reasonable with thorough descriptions and value of items. Even provided a signed copy for insurance. Plus I was able to find a beautifully unique bracelet and other items I couldn’t live without. I would highly recommend them.

I like this place a lot. The staff are always friendly, helpful, and take their time to explain things to me. On my last trip there I sold a few pieces of gold that I had gathered from around my house, a couple of class rings. I couldn’t believe how much I got!

I love this place, they have always been so kind and so helpful with me. My mom got me a ring from them and all she did was just give them a price range and diamonds from one of her old rings and they created a beautiful ring that I havent gotten so many compliments on I cant even count. They are very helpful and so kind. I will always come back to them.

5stars doesnt do this place justice. Great people at a great shop. I was treated like a friend not just a customer. Carlos really help my family out and we will always come back for our jewlery needs. Thanx guys!!

Went in to do some business. Looked at trading and I made an offer. He said if that will get the deal done so I can go sit back down at my desk. I was appalled. I was really looking at doing more business with them. Never going back. Very rude to me and the customer before me. I should have left when I heard them being rude to the lady before me but I wanted to give them a chance. NEVER AGAIN.

I have done business with these folks for about 14 years. I have found them to be very friendly and more importantly fair. Ive done some occasional business with their competitors and always come back to precious metals and jems. For me there is no comparison.

My family has been with Precious Metals for 20+ years. In addition to ready to wear jewelry, they have designed and created unique pieces to fit our ideas. And have always offered great appraisal and repair services. For quality jewelry, we dont shop anywhere else.

I had them find me just the perfect heart shaped solitaire for my wedding ring after I lost one of the diamonds. They did such a great job! I will recommend them always - especially for one of kind diamond jewelry!

I have used them to give me insurance appraisals, fix a watch of mine and bought silver as an investment. I love going in there and looking at the jewelry. Its a great place to buy too. Why pay retail when you can buy from a locally owned business! They are fair and very helpful!

Review №27

They took great care of my ring when I needed it repaired, and charged me way less than the other two shops I priced. They also were very prompt in letting me know as soon as it was done, all with very friendly service. I will definitely be bringing my business back here!

Review №29

I would not recommend this shop to anybody. I walked in with $300+ worth of coins and the guy I talked to didnt weigh anything out like they are supposed to do. He didnt even look up most of the coins that were from 1890 to 1950. The coins were from different countries but very old. I had 30 or more coins with me. And he didnt look at half of them. He offered 20 for everything...

They were very polite and helpful on my visit. I simply mentioned that I needed a replacement screw for one of my watches and they immediately pulled out a bag and started looking through it with me. I wouldnt expect most places to do that.

Review №33

I dont usually write reviews.. BUT PLEASE DO NOT DO BUSINESS HERE! I had a piece that I was looking to get rid of and I KNEW it was was valuable, but not 100% how valuable. I emailed first, then followed up with a call and then a visit into the store. Email was short conversations, but the call was more detailed and informative (so I thought). I went for the visit, and first thing I asked was if the person remembered my call, and they confirmed. I showed them the piece, that we had already discussed in detail, and ALL OF A SUDDEN my piece was a not a good piece.ALL of a sudden there were a million reasons why this piece was not as valuable as I wanted it to be - so the guy kept telling me. After telling me, for two days, he was a fair guy and would offer me a fair offer - he initially offered over $400... when I asked if that was his best offer, he paused, and offered me $250. From there he made it a point to keep telling me just to take the cash and put it toward something else. I explained that I KNEW the gold itself was worth more than that and I am basically giving you the diamonds for free (after being shorted on the value of the gold already). He kept telling me just to take the cash and let the bracelet go... it wasnt valuable. I told him I wanted to get an appraisal and of course he said youll be wasting your money. WHAT??? Anybody in their right mind would know that you need to know the value of your product before you can negotiate - so for him to say an appraisal was a waste, and hes a jeweler, didnt sit well with me. I explained to this guy, Carlos, that I wasnt hard up for money so I wasnt in a rush to just sell my piece - especially not for something so insulting. After I left there I went straight to another private gemologist except this time I only asked for an appraisal. GOT my piece back today, with the completed appraisal, and my instinct was accurate - Carlos was trying his hardest to get this piece for a reason... the appraisal value was close to $10k... I felt like they were trying to befriend me just to gain my trust so the scam was easier for them... that isnt right!

This has to be the weirdest place I have ever been to. I went to sell my gold ring and the offer was a fraction of the gold value. Not to mention, the staff look at you like you are crazy and dont seem to care whether or not you do business there. I am never going back again.

I had a great experience with Precious Metals and Gems. This is an excellent shop for buying precious Gems.They gave me a very good price on a ring for a friend that will be so happy when she sees. I will definitely shop there again.

Review №38

I sold some scrap silver to them, I did my homework on silver prices and scrap values and was able to get from then a considerable amount over their first offer, so they are willing to pay a fair value but its not their first offer.They are friendly and professional enough but I withhold one star beause I believe they should offer a fair price the first time instead instead of only after they learn you know the value

I would highly recommend there Services to anyone. Dave and his brother are very knowledgeable when it comes to there business. I enjoy doing business with them, and will continue to do so till they close the doors. They are very fair when purchasing idems from me. I enjoy taking in jewelry, stones, and things from my personal collection and discussing them with other people like the owners, who value and appreciate my collection and interests as much as I do. Looking forward to many more years of working and sharing with David (owner) who I graduated high school with 17 years ago! SMN!!! Congrats on your success guys! See you again soon...... Ps Ive got some new things I think your going to love Dave! Cant wait to show you. Till then take care brother.
